Cardiac Axis in 5 min

[@BboyNeversleep]

2 hours of class lecture of gibberish...... into 5 minutes of UNDERSTANDABLE information. THANK YOU!

[@TheNotedAnatomist]

Thanks for such a great tutorial! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the amount of material you covered in such a short amount of time. Your use of graphics, animations, text all linked to your narration was a joy to behold. Thanks for sharing with us all.

[@عزالدينالشيخسليمان]

A word of recommendation from the best anatomy teacher, I must never miss watching this video then...

[@matthewsalvador9783]

Of a class of three ppl and a month to learn this has no comparison towards this awesome 5 minute video.

[@geowge4727]

I’ve been trying to understand this for hours, and you just explained it perfectly in minutes.. thank you!!!

[@hillarycreech5072]

My classmates and I in an acute care DNP program are EXTREMELY grateful for this. We all had quite a lot of ECG experience before, but absolutely none of us had any experience with the cardiac axis, as that was usually dealt with by other providers when we were RNs. This was a succinct, helpful presentation, & we've passed it around among pretty much everyone in our class. Thank you so much!

[@NickSmithUGME]

My pleasure 😊

[@patrickkawooya4538]

Have tried to understand this for 4yrs. You've helped me finally give it a fantastic knockout

[@monicarosellini]

This is so helpful! i was so tired reading books and yet can't really imagine & understand it and then there goes your video, all short and clean & it's beautifully explained, thank you!

[@JulyMoser]

Honestly, the best explanation I ever had so far, I now understand it! Thank you!

[@NickSmithUGME]

You're very welcome!

[@shadowbird8954]

After watching your video I finally had that "ah ha" moment for understanding how to apply this concept. Thank you for sharing this!

[@leenahmed147]

Every time I forget details about the cardiac axis I got back to this video ! It had helped me so much Thank you sir

[@TahaSiyam]

"Congratulations you've just worked out the cardiac axis" EUPHORIA! Thanks a lot!

[@AnyaSunshine1]

Wow! The morning of my exam I watched this video and learned this way. Very simple. Very helpful.

[@FPSKrish]

I could never understand the cardiac axis until this video! Thanks so much!

[@najpopal4430]

It feels illegal for this to be this simple, best explanation! thank you

[@NickSmithUGME]

you’re welcome

[@chilepepper2748]

Thank you, thank you! As an EP professional (but one whose job rarely requires analysis of the axis) this is a lifesaver! Now I can easily calculate the axis for each of my patients which will actually help me be better at what I do. :-)

[@FarmanGoldsmith]

I can't express my happiness for being familiar with your MAGIC explanation about Cardiac Axis , ECG , as well as Reading Strip rhythm ... which I've suffering from them for months ... I'm really smiling form ear to ear and impressed with your greatness ! God bless you Dr.Smith 🌹🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@maddyr9070]

WOW! after years of being a med student and panicking when a consultant asked me about axis deviation, i finally understand this!!! thank you SO much!!

[@MegaNesha123]

Wow... that was very well explained. 12 leads have been the death of me however this video has given me hope of finally understanding how to calculate the axis. Thank you!

[@nurulasyiqin1654]

Thank you so much! You did it in just minutes rather than hours of reading!

[@TheShabooka]

OMG I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A BETTER AND QUICK EXPLANATION, GOD BLESS YOU

[@hopewrld]

omg thanks to this video i didnt have to rewatch three hours of lectures, you saved my time 🙏🙏

[@zagrosardalan7502]

Wow that the answer to all my confusions in determining cardiac axis, sir hope you have a great day

[@EchocardiographyHeart]

@@NickSmithUGME I have a q sir , as u explain in first case by looking positive aVF so, what if aVF is negative will we have to shift it to -90 degree if so then the ans would be LAD (in the beginning case 1 which u had discussed )??? Plz explain . THANKS YOU

[@Tommy-ge7zb]

Thank you a lot. Ur explanation allows me to understand just like within five mins.

I have tried to make sense of this for years- thank you for your clear explanation

[@GandalfTheBrown117]

Clear, concise, and informative. Thank you for a great video!

[@t.little7757]

@nick smith I'm sure this video isn't perfect, but I'm so grateful that you posted it. Everything else was too detailed and I didn't know where to start. This is a great starting point, so THANK YOU!!

[@aspensink]

Wow... way better than my textbook... Thank you! :)

[@kateh6805]

First year medical student with an exam on ECG tomorrow- many thanks for this. It really helped!!

[@leggo4ever310]

what happened to u? do u still at med school?

[@Detomidine]

Thank you. The first time someone actually explained this so that I understood!

[@mustafahasan3598]

you did in 5 minutes what my teacher failed to do in 30 minutes, thanks!

[@mintedicecream]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much I have learned a lot through this tutorial.

[@jacobsmith8390]

I'm currently revising ECG for an optional module in nursing at King's College London and this has helped me crack axis; my biggest thanks to you sir!

[@reginabecker7779]

Leads I, II, and III are the limb leads. aVR, aVL, and aVF are the augmented voltage leads for the right arm and left arm and left foot. They are augmented because the sum of voltage called Wilsons point created by the limb leads I,II ,and III is to small to create a meaningful deflection on the EKG. This needs to be corrected.

[@NickSmithUGME]

Regina Becker Agree entirely with what you say but as it makes no difference to the interpretation of the axis I am going to leave it as I haven't got the time to re do the video. Sorry! N

[@reginabecker7779]

I just thought where you had so many views it ought to be correct. Otherwise well done!

[@NickSmithUGME]

Regina Becker You make your point well - have added an annotation to the video and credited :) Thanks N

[@ionutcristianilascu7301]

Thank you so much for such an amazing and simple to understand explanation !!!

[@merve347]

Thanks for this, quite useful for the cardiology lab portion of my exam! It's tricky at first but it goes down to first principles interpreting the magnitudes and angles of your vectors

[@JosephAshipala]

SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT

[@luisfajardo7756]

Hi. It´s a great educational video. I suggest that you should change the video in the 2:51 minute, because the axis is in -120 degrees, not in -150 degrees.

[@NickSmithUGME]

Yes, you are right

[@francisgypozxc]

YOU'RE ACTUALLY AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@F91RPG]

This was actually one of the most difficult things for me in cardiac physiology until I came across your video. Thank you so much.

[@haseebkhan-zz4hp]

stupid

[@smritikumari5441]

Thank you. You cleared my doubt...

[@nosebirdy]

I’m a respiratory therapist currently learning ECG so we can recognize problematic rhythms. This was so helpful!

[@martindikovmd3862]

for all the people who are willing to understand the true electric fundamentals of ECG - it is NOT the lead, it IS the + ELECTRODE towards which the el.impulse travels and hence generates the positive(upward) deflection on the ECG graphy.

[@ekelveee5398]

Where does the axis go if you are lying down vs sitting up?

[@msmc-marijasshortmedicineclips]

Very well explained!

[@MedigalGeek]

Thanks Dr. Smith! this is by far the best video on lead calculation. Why should you move 15 degrees, is this part of a calculation?

This helped a lot. Thank you very much.

I’m only 14 but this stuff is really really intriguing to me. It’s always fascinated me my whole life, and I’ve been trying my best to understand the raw basics of cardiology. I’ve checked out books from the library and done research online, but this video did quite help a lot on this topic. Thank you

Thanks a lot!!! This is very useful.

[@Hope-ws9nn]

So easy to understand thank you so much!

[@enricolocicero1755]

Excuse me for the note: when I correct the electric axis, considering the equiphasic derivative, if the QRS is mainly positive on the equiphasic I correct the axis by 15 degrees towards the positive pole of the derivative, and vice versa. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@Cheliz_Diaz]

Now this is so clear for me :D thanks a lot

[@assiabns1433]

But when we have a vector perpendicular of the electrodes axis it's 0 means we see nothing on the ecg ? How is it possible that we have bipolar wave?

[@AdamCopeland2]

When finding the most equiphasic lead, do we consider leads 1,2, 3 only or all 6 limb leads?

[@yukeshkumar4072]

all 6

[@joshuacastruita8052]

So if the wave form on Lead I is more POSITIVE than equiphasic, does tha mean that it is a LEFT axis deviation? Thank you for this video, by the way.

[@diananerling9070]

Amazing explained! Thank you !!

[@sarahsamethini8236]

This really helped me! I have one question, what if all leads are positive of negative, so there is no equiphasic lead? Thanks!

[@Rowan76544]

that was just what I needed

[@doctort434]

The transition at 1:30 just confused me. What's the point of the initial diagram?

[@Arma_Dei]

The transition for lead 1, 2, and 3 was showing the vectors those leads travel into their actual position on the axis. I would suggest taking a look at Ninja Nerd’s video on EKG Leads if you need more assistance.

[@mukeshagrawal1284]

is it abnormal ecg. what is treatment

[@XDmangaXX]

I'm so thankful you can't even imagine

[@vaishnaja]

Beautifully explained

[@jordxnhenry]

Why couldn't we use lead 2 as the lead determining the cardiac axis? Why instead aVF?

[@صالحمحمد-د8ر9ي]

120 degree the reverse positive lead 2 . thank you for your time .

[@kimtran7045]

great work. thank you very much.
